    I’ve bought a few clothes on-line and it’s worked out well, but I have to say it’s a worry. You never know where your bung-hole or your nuts will be placed…

    fucking brilliant.  I am going to write the LBJ library in Austin and ask that they have the animatron down there start delivering these lines.  Now I just have to figure out how old my kids have to be before I can let them hear the word “bunghole” so they can see it.

    Johnson was quite a piece of work.  I think clearly the most despicable human being ever to be President.  I thought the belch was particularly telling.  The guy couldn’t even order a pair of pants without deliberately demeaning somebody.  By not even maintaining a pretense of decency, Johnson makes the most of the opportunity to crush another human being — letting him know just how much he means in Johnson’s eyes, which is nothing.  That’s really all you have to know about Lyndon Johnson.

      he had nothing on Nixon or Bush the Younger.

        Oh, I think Lyndon easily surpassed Tricky and Shrub in terms of being the grossest, most vulgar president ever to sit in the Oval Office.   This tape snippet is small potatoes compared to some other stuff.

        Not even a close contest if we also include not just his disgusting physical behavior but his outrageously demeaning treatment of subordinates, male and female.

        He also had an uncontrollable habit of hitting on any woman that crossed his path whom he considered attractive and therefore available.   Many examples witnessed, even in the presence of his wife.  One involved the somewhat naive 20-something journalist daughter of the Dem Majority Leader of the Senate, who at least had the quick reflexes to flee the Oval Office.
